It is hard to find an anime comparable to Girls' Last Tour. Some remind us of it, but none have yet to meet the criteria that only this show does so right. Nothing happens in this show, yet things happen all the time. The medium enhances the source material in a way that makes it feel like this isn't just some adaptation, but something of its own. The director of this anime had a vision in mind, one that complements Tsukumizu's original work.
This show has three main characters: Yuuri, Chiito, and the world (some would argue Kettengrad too). The show allows this world to breathe, where there is only the music and the gorgeous shots of this amazing world. Too few talk about this show's soundtrack. Not the intro or outro, but other music that plays in the actual episodes. Just like the alph…

Below you will find a Spanish version of this review. The following text is written in English
English:
Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou, also known as Girls' Last Tour, is an anime that presents a post-apocalyptic world in which humanity is on the brink of extinction. The story follows Chito and Yuuri, two girls who travel on a motorcycle and are the last survivors of a city devastated by war. Throughout their journey, Chito and Yuuri explore the remnants of human civilization in search of food and parts for their motorcycle, while reflecting on the world they once knew.
In terms of animation, Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou stands out for its visual style that evokes a sense of sadness and loneliness that fits the desolate atmosphere of the series. The desert and ruined settings, along with the atmosphe…

This anime can actually get kind of funny which is pretty cool for G rated humor. I guess a Seth McFarlane fan probably wouldn't find too much to laugh at but I enjoyed it. The CG is awful but it's kind of endearing how awfully animated the motorbike wagon is and how it chugs along.
It's a really interesting take on a post apocalyptic setting considering it's just two little girls and no zombies or raiders or anything. I find it hard to believe but I just went on the wiki and turns out it's a seinen. Probably because of how dark the story is.
Everyone killed each other off in a massive war and I think the little girls survived because they were underground traveling through a sewer at the time when their grandfather sent them off. It doesn't outright confirm anything but from watching th…

To those who wonder why I give 10s for everything, I’ll explain why.
This anime left me speechless and it truly is a diamond that’s shines bright within the animes that I have watched. If you like adventure, moe, drama and a bit of slice of life, I highly, highly recommend you to watch this show.
[Slight Spoilers Ahead]
The story is more than amazing, it’s one of those stories that aren’t too generic, but not too unique to the point where you can’t wrap your head around it. The story is simple, two girls left in a futuristic post-apocalyptic world where humans are a rare sight. Their goal? Go up the layers that each cities has. This honestly was an unique story choice created by the author and you won’t see it in any other anime. As the story goes on, it’s quite amazing as the main char…

Let me make it clear that I will now write a lot about how this anime left me feeling, and reasons for it... Reasons for why many people like myself like this show so much...
[There will probably be quite heavy spoilers]
So let me begin with saying that this show really left me feeling with the "void" feeling after finishing it, the type of feeling of... seeing something so true (if that makes any sense). It goes over some very dark ideas throughout the whole series which might at first be quite apparent but there's way more if one cares to delve deeper.
In the show we are shown what only seems to be a destroyed world far into the future, not a single type of plant or animals are still alive and at no point in the show do we see foliage of any kind, instead, we see the world covered in m…

Story: 4/10
I'm sorry, everyone seems to enjoy it, but the story lead to nowhere. Two girls venturing in a barren world, the audience doesn't know what happened to this post-apocalyptic world. But, how the girls spend their time makes you think you should cherish your time even more.
Art: 6/10
There's a lot of elaborate details that allows you to become absorbed into the world and feel what it's like to be those girls.
Sound: 6/10
There's subtle sounds in some scenes, but that allows you to understand that they are in a barren world.
Characters: 5/10
The characters are adorable and moe, a bit weird for this post-apocalyptic world, but it makes you feel optimistic. Although I say that, the characters aren't too special, it's common, a straight, serious girl and a comedic girl.
Enjoyme…

Wow this show is dull.. I thought this was gonna go a similar direction as Made in Abyss with misleadingly cute art and a slow paced start before the show gets more dramatic, but this show never does ANYTHING. There's no characters, no humor, no story, no motivations, no drama..
The only thing the show has going is that there's seemingly a rather rich backstory / lore to it, but it's never actually used for anything.
The art and sound is also very obviously cheap.
Maybe you'll enjoy this if you like slow paced shows about nothing like Mushishi or Flying Witch, but atleast those shows have stuff happening and characters..
I honestly don't think Girls Last Tour has ANYHTING going for it. It's not offensive or terrible in any way either, it's just critically boring.

SSR started off strong, it was intriguing to see a SoL show set in post-war wasteland about two girls drifting through abandoned landscaped towards upper levels without a certain goal. It was promising when through dialogue and analogies the show set up themes about value and point of living. However that's kinda it, maybe there's something more to it in the manga but the show itself is painfully shallow. It's not void of neat little character moments that build up the main couple, make you sympathize with them and simultaneously feel the atmosphere they're immersed in. Despite that at any other point in time I found myself incredibly bored cause nothing was happening, there was little to look at and dialogue while touching upon some interesting themes never really went beyond sort of ment…

Two girls takes a post-apocalyptic trip...
Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou by it's it's definition for LA was LA's zen anime for Fall 2017.
Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou follows Chito voiced by Inori Minase and Yuuri voiced by Yurika Kubo as they explore their post-apocalyptic world in a vast underground city of possibilities. Now you'd think this kind of anime would be boring but actually with the simple daily lives of Chito and Yuuri simply exploring a section of the world they live in actually gives off some platitudes about humanity itself considering the setting they are placed in.
Chito and Yuuri as characters are your typical characters of the strict and methodical one of Chito while Yuuri is the laid-back character only caring about food (no seriously this becomes a running gag). Their relat…

Ok, so it seems like i am the only guy in this entire site that didn't like this show (at least in the review section), so i fell the need to write why this show is so terrible.
Also, this is my first review in the site and i'm not a native english speaker, so sorry if the structure of this review seems garbage to you.
Firstly, i want to say that i was very excited to see this show when it came in the seasonal chart, i didn't know how it whould be, but even if it was just a generic slice of life show, it would be interesting just by the premise, bonus it was made by White Fox, that is one of my favorite studios.
What i got was really dissapointing: a show about literelly nothing, most of the show is just these two girls walking and visiting some unisteressing place, and that is it, i wo…

Pros:
1. Heartwarming anime
2. Breathtaking music, seriously, so beautiful
3. Deep philosophical meaning behind each episode concerning war
4. Cute and likable cast of characters
Cons:
1. Too Slice of Life, may be boring for some people 2. Fanservice may bother some people
3. Character designs too moe, may bother some people
Before Fall season even started, I have been hyping up for Girls Last Tour. This anime, at first sight while watching the PV, seemed very interesting. It takes place in a world where humans are nearly extinct because of war. There are only a few number of people left in the world including our main characters, Chito and Yuuri. This anime follows their journey as they wander around the post-apocalyptic world learning about things before the world came to an end…

Two chibi girls on a vintage Kettengrad motorbike explore the war-ravaged city that they once called home. This sentence without context sounds ridiculous, but Girls' Last Tour manages to pull it off by providing one of the best shows of the season with beautiful background imagery, variation between the two leads that mimic those of two sides of a brain, and a soothing yet melancholic soundtrack
The quality of the backgrounds can be mostly attributed to the widely used post-apocalyptic setting and the source material of the show. Tsukumizu's elaborate ruined cityscapes of rusted pipes and war-torn steel fully contrast with the two chibi, moe leads.
Chito and Yuuri compose the dual leads that this anime relies on to contrast it's grim setting. If you were to divide the two into the halve…

Imagine you could take a step back for a moment, and take a long, hard look at humanity. Where will we be in 1,000 years? Are the issues we face in the present really that important in the grand scheme of things? What does it mean to live? If our civilisation comes to an end one day, will it really be that bad?
Girl Last Tour is a unique take on post-apocalyptic fiction and in my view one of the most beautiful shows to come out in a long time. The setting might seem bleak and depressing at first glance, and whilst those feelings are present, it’s mostly used as a backdrop for the talking points of the main characters. It might also seem like another Moe, slice-of-life show that has value in its cuteness and not much more, but it’s really much more than that. It’s an abstract journey throu…

Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou - Series Review
What if there really was a world where you and your very best friend were supposedly the only two people left in the world after a post-war society? How would that feel, being with the one and only person you ever wanted to be with until you die, experiencing hardships, connections, good times, and everything in between? Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou gives me an idea of how that would feel and for some reason that idea has kept popping back up in to my head. You and your friend are just lost in what seems like an endless “sandbox world” to yourselves, maybe even seeing people along the way. There’s always that tense feeling of not knowing what you will see next or what’s waiting for you in the near or distant future. Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou may not be see…

Girls’ Last Tour is one of the easiest masterpieces to drop, or worse yet, finish and have entirely missed the point of. Its visual presentation does such a clever job at obfuscating the story’s deeper, darker meaning, you’d hardly be at fault for viewing it as your average cute girl show which just happens to be weirdly surreal. I mean, whether you find yourself here because you saw a gif of moe girls dabbing or because you’re genuinely interested in watching the show, you probably didn’t come because you were invested in exploring its themes of hopelessness, aimless despair, philosophical stoicism, and the inevitability of death which its suicidal creator subtly imbued it with.
I first learned of this series not as an anime, but as a manga. The manga was said to be boring; a story with…

Strolling through a grey and barren wasteland, two girls are on a journey. Rations are their only food, each other's company their only comfort and a Kettenkrad motorbike and a protect rifle their only partners. This is a story about a post-apocalyptic future, cultures lost in war and appreciating the little things in life.
Few future settings display the thoughtfulness present in Girl’s Last Tour: war has, multiple times, left its mark on Earth and humanity. The numerous layers of the forsaken and metallic city tell tales of many civilizations long gone; their technology gradually grows more sophisticated and the cityscape more complex by the layer. Their different religious beliefs, or lack thereof, as well as their different perceptions of beauty are ingrained in them: some show ideali…

What makes a good post-apocalyptic story?
The atmosphere. A dense and foreboding feeling that life was at one time much greater than it is today, but now all that's left is a hollow shell of a former civilization that you'll never be a part of. What makes the story of Girls' Last Tour (AKA Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou) great is not just the slice of lifestyle plot. It's the storytelling that makes it extraordinary.
As Chito and Yuri explore the desolate city, they learn more about the setting, giving the audience helpful information to piece together the lore. The world they live in is implied to be Earth in the distant future after a war has wreaked havoc and left the world barren. Chi and Yuu spend each episode exploring, looking for supplies, and finding new aspects of their world that th…

We can be in the presence of a deja-vu, an anime about children (I used that words before). Could it surprise us as Made in the Abyss did? Will we feel empathy with those kids in a post-apocalyptic world? The truth is that we can be surprised one more time.
We live our lives hastily surrounded by numerous technological devices. We consider that our daily tasks, such as eating and taking a shower, are "habitual," and we never asked ourselves what would happen if life change due to destruction and a terrible war. What would happen if we lose those things? What would we do to survive? Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou takes us to a time where civilization disappeared because of war. The only memory of the existence of the culture lies in the numerous ruins of cities and the devices that once served h…

Imagine you’re trekking into a dense forest with your friends. The sun is going down and it’s getting late. Then, you hear strange unknown noises coming from all directions around you. You check your phone and it has no signal. You can’t find the compass in your pocket and there’s no food left. Now, you and your friends just realized…you’re lost. You’re in trouble.
I don’t know how many of you have been in this type of situation before but watching Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou brings a similar feeling. The idea of being lost in an unknown place evokes a sort of uneasiness. The constant fear of danger, feeling restless, and hoping to survive is what really attracted me to this show. To me, Shoujo Shuumatsu Ryokou (Girls’ Last Tour) is much more than just a world-end journey. It’s a show that co…
